  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

EMPOWERED TO SERVE

2 Timothy 1:3-10

Dear Father, seer of my inmost thoughts,

Give me a clear conscience in my service to you. Then fill my
mouth with prayers to you as I intercede for those I love. Let my
contacts with them be sources of great joy for all of us. Let the
sincere faith of our mothers and fathers and other relatives take
root in us and grow.

Whatever gift you have given me, help me rekindle it every day and
fan it into a flame of service and love for you.

Help me live boldly for you, for you did not give me a spirit of
timidity but a spirit of love and power and inward strength.

Don't let me ever be ashamed of bearing witness about our Lord.
Let me take my share of suffering for the gospel and rely on your
power.

In the name and power of Jesus I pray. Amen.
